Just muted all those groups that were hyping social mining. The world instantly got a lot quieter.

To be honest, the “attention is mining” idea sounds pretty seductive, but there are more arbitrageurs than miners. Retail just rushes in as traffic, and in the end, only a few manage to make it out. Fan tokens feel more like a self-reinforcing attention “spinach”—once liquidity loosens, the price drops first, right on its knees.

Anyway, I’d rather focus on real L2 experience now. For day-to-day interactions, routing via Arb or Op does save on gas, and confirmations are faster. But if I’m actually moving funds for arbitrage or doing large transactions, I’m still going back to the mainnet. It’s not that L2 doesn’t work—some cross-chain bridge stuff and those finality-delay details are the life-or-death key for arbitrage.

Once the group is muted, I can finally be alone with my own data. On this screen, it’s just me, the order book, and open positions. If I think it through before acting, it’s steadier than running around with the group’s “attention frenzy.” Put plainly: the compromise is small money runs on L2, big money stays on the mainnet, and the psychological comfort comes from muting.

Don’t put too much faith in any so-called “everlasting consensus.” Figure out where the exit path is—stronger than anything else.
